I used a friend's once, liked the glide -- bought some -- hate the mess! I'm down to my last 6 pens, don't expect a re-order. They leak on hands and clothes and hard to wash out. The ink lasts less than a week (I'm a teacher and write a lot).

I'm a sight impaired person and cannot read/see ball point or fine to medium point inks. With the Bold pens, it's much much easier for me to see. I just wish it came in green. the only drawback for this pen, is that the refills are difficult to find in the colors I need. I prefer the refillable cap pens as opposed to the retractable pens - you get more ink in the cap top pens for the same price.
